Lack of evidence of the correlation between plasma Asymmetrical Dimethylarginine correlation and IMT in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic vascular complication.

CONCLUSIONS: There was no correlation between ADMA and the maximal or mean intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) and internal carotid artery (ICA). We demonstrated a correlation between symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) concentration and CCA IMT. The results suggest that ICA IMT may serve as a marker of vascular complication among patients with diabetes. PMID: 33543609 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
